One of the best ways of making the transition to college life is through participation
in one of the many Pre-Orientation Programs at Skidmore. Whether it's hiking in the
Adirondacks, creating sculpture, or doing community service, there are many ways to
meet students with similar interests and goals. Participation in Pre-O is optional,
and takes place just before Orientation for all first-year students.

All first-year students attending a Pre-O need to arrive on campus between 8:30 AM and
10 AM on Thursday, September 3, 2015 to check into their assigned student housing.
Off-Campus programs will check in at 8:30 AM and On-Campus programs will check in
at 10 AM.

There will be a Parent Orientation Program on September 3, 2015 and most parents
do not see it necessary to come back on Sunday, September 6th for First Year Orientation
because both days are similar. Please see your first-year packets for more information
or visit the First Year Experience web pages.

NO FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS ARE ALLOWED TO CHECK IN PRIOR TO THURSDAY, September 3, 2015!
